When Tadej Pogačar crossed the finish line of the 2020 Tour de France in the yellow jersey, something beyond his incredible talent was noticeable—the glasses on his nose. They were Scicon. And since then, the history of these two names has been inextricably linked.
From a garage near Bassano del Grappa to the Champs-Élysées
Scicon Sports was founded in 1980 in a small town near Bassano del Grappa—the heart of the Italian cycling industry. For decades, the brand has been synonymous with bike travel bags. But in 2019, the company made a bold move: entering the sports eyewear market.
Just four years later, the results speak for themselves. Scicon eyewear has won the Tour de France in 2020, 2021, and 2024 with Pogačar, the Giro d'Italia in 2024, and over 500 WorldTour races.
The models Pogačar wins with
Which model does the Slovenian use to dominate the peloton? The answer is Aeroshade Kunken — a wide-angle shield lens, panoramic view, adjustable nose pad, and five ventilation ports. These are the very glasses that were on his face in the Alps and Pyrenees.

Why did Pogačar choose Scicon?
It's not just marketing. Pro cyclists' choices are determined by four factors: optics, aerodynamics, weight, and fit. Scicon meets all of them:
SCN-PP lenses with UV400 protection and hydrophobic/oleophobic coating
Weight under 40 g — almost imperceptible on the face
FlexiFit 2.0 nose pad with multiple adjustments
Lifetime warranty for lens replacement in case of scratches
Special Editions
Scicon released the World Champion Edition Aeroscope — a white frame with a bronze mirror - specially made for Pogačar. Limited quantity.
